I wanted to like this place, it was our first place to stay in Costa Rica. It was average due to poor beds and we tried two rooms that were upper end of rate and the noise from the bar that was loud. I knew based on reviews that this hotel was iffy but I chanced it because we couldn't... More

This resort is one of a kind, it is very private, beautiful and the room we stayed in (Captain Suite) was new and remodeled. The view from the balcony was unbelievable, it was truly a paradise. They have a good pool with a Monkey Bar, you can swim up to the bar and order some drinks. Everyday they have some... More

I have a soft spot for this place. I stayed here on my first trip to Costa Rica and while I was slightly skeptical when we arrived, the charm won me over. Our room, while not massive, had a great terrace, a separate sitting area, and a kitchenette - much more than I expected. The staff were very friendly and... More

We walked into Monkey Bar & pool area of Flamingo Marina Resort twice during our month stay in Surfside, Potrero. Both times we were welcomed and had a tasty lunch & refreshing drinks as well as an excellent view of Playa Potrero. A friendly iguana greeted us with his presence. I also took advantage of their fun & well-organized water... More

I have never been more insulted or made to feel less welcome than when I entered the pool area of the Flamingo Marina Resort. The Bartenders were surly and unfriendly they refused to give me service while sitting by the pool 20 feet away from them even though I was practically the only person in the place. My request for...

I could rant for days about how awful this hotel was. We started in one room and were upgraded to a condo. My friend and me tried one bed and ended up itching for days. we thought it was bites from the day.... but after waking up at 3am and passing out on the futon we figured it out. FLEAS!!!... More

The food here is very very good and there's an amazing view that comes along with it. However since this is a smaller hotel there are more bugs around. There are iguanas (they're harmless) around the area. Some of the pools weren't very clean looking and some of the staff wasn't very nice. I was in the tennis area with... More

We arrived at Playa Flamingo at the end of our 2 week trip having stayed in some amazing places. It took a while to adjust to the fact that we were now in a more touristy area, which was more built up than previous places we had visited on our trip. The hotel welcome was below average, with a somewhat... More

Mixed bag. They're not overly friendly, but this is a very nice place. Our a/c went on the fritz during the night, and they gave us keys to another room - didn't help us move - just gave us the keys. The internet was not reliable, and only available in the lobby. Breakfast and the Monkey Bar were pretty much... More

Flamingo Marina Resort has beautiful Condos and Hotel. Get your reservation through them. Beware of some of the units that are not part of Flamingo Resort, like condo #413. Terrible. In need of updating badly. Window in bathroom broke, Stains on comforter, holes in towel, walls need painting and sheets very old... Just plain dirty. Though I did hear from... More
